Laboratory Performance Insights
Turning Data Into Safer, Smarter, More Efficient Laboratories
The Challenge
Laboratories are dynamic environments.
Over time, changes in:
- Research activities
- Occupancy
- Equipment loads
- Operating schedules
- System adjustments
can impact laboratory performance.
We Help You Understand What Is Happening Inside Your Lab
Laboratory Performance Assessment
A data-driven review of:
1. Airflow & Ventilation Performance
Is the laboratory receiving the right amount of air?
Look for:
- Excess ventilation
- Airflow imbalance
- Inefficient exhaust operation
Outcome:
Improved efficiency while maintaining laboratory requirements
3. Fume Hood Performance
Are exhaust systems operating efficiently?
Look for:
- Excess exhaust airflow
- Usage patterns
- Control opportunities
Outcome:
Reduced energy waste while protecting safety
2. Control System Performance
Are your systems operating as designed?
Look for:
- Sensor accuracy
- BAS visibility
- Control response
- Sequence performance
Outcome:
Reliable operation and improved system coordination
4. Operational Optimization
Are systems responding to actual laboratory needs?
Look for:
- Scheduling
- Occupancy strategies
- Setpoint optimization
Outcome:
Better performance throughout the building lifecycle
Our Performance Rating Approach
To provide facility teams with a clear understanding of laboratory performance, each evaluated area is reviewed across three key categories:
Health & Safety
Are laboratory conditions being maintained as intended?
Energy Efficiency
Are systems operating efficiently while meeting laboratory requirements?
Maintenance & Service
Are there conditions that may contribute to reliability issues or future maintenance needs?
Each category receives a performance rating based on measured data, observed trends, and alignment with design intent.
Simple Performance Indicators
Green — On Target
The laboratory is operating as intended.
Yellow — Needs Attention
The laboratory is generally performing acceptably, but opportunities or emerging concerns exist.
Red — Action Required
The laboratory has identified conditions requiring attention.
From Insight to Improvement
The goal of a laboratory performance assessment is not simply to identify problems.
It is to provide facility teams with:
✓ Visibility into system performance
✓ Data-driven opportunities
✓ Prioritized recommendations
✓ A roadmap for improvement
A laboratory that operates efficiently is one where safety, sustainability, and reliability work together.
